Summary: In an article which appeared in the second issue of REAF, Professor Cruz suggested that the proposal adopted by the Catalan Parliament to reform the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia would led to a substantial transformation of the territorial structure of Spain. Indeed, he argued that such a transformation would go beyond the structures and aims set out in Spanish Constitution. In this sense, Professor Cruz believes that the implementation of the new Statute of Autonomy would result in the establishment of territorial structure of powers completely different from the model envisaged from the Constitution.
